Technology moves at breakneck speed, and we now have more power in our pockets than we had in our homes in the 1990s. What was once just a figment of the imagination of some our most famous science fiction writers, artificial intelligence (AI) is taking root in our everyday lives. From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons. Some forms of AI can even create visual art or write songs.

Artificial Intelligence could banish poverty, improve the efficiency of medical procedures, unravel cures of currently incurable diseases, and make humans live longer or even become immortal. Research into driverless cars is at an advanced level, and they could be on our roads in a couple of years or even sooner. Robots are already working alongside humans in high-tech activities such as surgery. Automated machines dispense cash at banks, and the internet has connected the world, enabling people to communicate across continents in real time.

In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. Renowned scientist Professor Hawking has once again reiterated his claims mankind will inevitably fail, and says that our time on Earth is now numbered after we passed the point of “no return”. As the machines become more intelligent than humans and decide they will no longer serve humans.

Tesla Motors and Space X founder Elon Musk and Bill Gates are among other notable personalities who have expressed concerns about the real threat that Artificial Intelligence could pose to humanity in the coming years.

What do you think? Is humanity now bound to self-destruct and AI will replace us as the dominant being on the planet? Or it will just save humanity and promises real benefits regarding improving the quality of human life?

Will Artificial Intelligence Save Or Destroy Humanity?
